Filter by:This trial is conducted in Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America. The purpose is to compare long-term glycaemic control of insulin degludec/liraglutide (IDegLira) versus insulin glargine (IGlar) in insulin naïve subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled with oral anti diabetics.
This trial is conducted in Asia, Europe and North America. The purpose is to confirm efficacy in terms of glycaemic control of treatment with mealtime faster-acting insulin aspart in combination with insulin degludec in adults with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus.
Diseases caused by brain energy supply defects can be innate (fibromyalgia secondary to familial mitochondrial disorders) or acquired (tardive dyskinesia or weight gain associated with prolonged antipsychotic use). Patients with these possible mitochondrial disorders will provide a baseline resting heart rate sample, ingest low-dose metformin (500 mg), and then provide an additional sample 2 hours later.
The objectives of this clinical study is to assess the effect of the amount of carbohydrate intake and meals differing in glycemic index (GI) in patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with an SGLT2 inhibitor (Luseogliflozin), which inhibits glucose reabsorption from renal uriniferous tubule, on glucose variability by using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), and to establish dietary therapy which reduces the risk of hypoglycemia in patients treated with SGLT2 inhibitors. In addition, blood and urine samples are collected for metabolome analysis that will be performed as an extension study of the clinical study.
This study will compare the effects of commonly consumed carbohydrate sources such as potatoes, pasta and rice along with a fixed portion of meat on blood glucose, satiety and insulin levels among healthy body weight children. Healthy boys and girls, aged between 11 - 13 years old, will be involved in this study.
A single visit & single arm study in 80 subjects with diabetes to determine if a short educational experience with a new blood glucose meter feature improves the ability of each subject to better classify glucose results into acceptable glucose ranges.
The study aims to evaluate the effect of smoking on postprandial responses such as plasma glucose, secretion of gut - and pancreatic hormones and gastric emptying in healthy, heavy smoking men.
Accumulating evidence suggests that bile acids in our intestines may constitute essential components in the complex mechanisms regulating gut hormone secretion and glucose homeostasis. Thus, it is likely that modification of the enterohepatic circulation of bile acids can lead to changes in gut hormone secretion and consequently affect glucose homeostasis. The current study is a human interventional randomized controlled cross-over study including four study days for each participant. Metformin will be applied as a tool to reduce bile acid reuptake in the small intestine; thereby increasing bile acid concentration in the more distal parts of the gut where GLP-1-secreting L cell are abundant. Interestingly, metformin has been shown to reduce the active reabsorption of bile acids in the ileum and cause increased faecal elimination of bile acids. Clinical data has suggested that metformin causes an increase in the postprandial secretion of GLP-1 in humans including patients with type 2 diabetes. Intravenous infusion of cholecystokinin will be used to elicit gallbladder contraction and emptying. The aim is to examine how (and if) modification of bile acid reabsorption can influence postprandial glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion and glucose homeostasis in patients with type 2 diabetes. The investigators hypothesize that higher luminal concentrations of bile acids in the distal gut will elicit changes in gut hormone secretion. The current study will help to clarify this hypothesis and improve our general understanding of the association between bile acid circulation and signalling, gut hormone secretion and glucose metabolism.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) occurs when excess fat is deposited in the liver. Almost all patients also have obesity and insulin resistance (the inability of the body to effectively use insulin). Obesity and NAFLD are intricately intertwined and are increasing in incidence. While weight loss is the most effective therapy for NAFLD, the investigators' efforts are failing and in the next generation it will become the most common cause of liver failure in Canada. Recently, researchers have focused on the potential use of altering the composition of bacteria in the gut (microbiome) to alter absorption of energy from food, deposition of fat and resistance to insulin. This study will determine if transplantation of bacteria from the stool of a healthy volunteer into an individual with metabolic syndrome and NAFLD (i.e. fecal microbiota transplant/FMT) can alter insulin resistance and reduce the amount of fat deposited in the liver. FMT is being studied to treat several clinical conditions and is now standard of care for the treatment of refractory Clostridium difficile infection. Investigators are proposing a randomized controlled pilot study of FMT in 21 patients to determine the feasibility and to inform us of changes needed for a larger study.
Albiglutide, a novel analogue of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), has been developed and approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The primary objective of this study is to assess if a single dose of albiglutide can affect cholecystokinin-induced gallbladder emptying. To make this assessment, each study participant will receive a dose of albiglutide and a dose of placebo followed by cholecystokinin (CCK) infusion and ultrasound measurement of the gallbladder. The study will be comprised of two periods and 20 subjects. The screening visit will occur within 42 days of the start of Treatment Period 1. The Treatment Periods will be separated by a washout period of a minimum of 42 days. Subjects will return for a follow-up visit after 28 days following the last dose of albiglutide or placebo. The total duration of a subject's participation from Screening to Follow-up will be approximately 17.5 weeks. This study is a post marketing commitment to the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA).
